Geelong 

Geelong's 2021 Indigenous guernsey has been designed by Corrina Eccles, who is a traditional owner of Wadawurrung Country.

The 2021 edition of Geelong's guernsey looks to incorporate a number of landmarks across the Barwon region.

Eccles told the club website on the story behind the guernsey.

"I wanted to tell the story of Wadawurrung country, the story of Djilang, and take people back on a journey to what the country was like prior to how we see the built environment today," Eccles said.

"In the design I have the Kardiniyoo, the sunrise taking place and the two teams coming together to play what we call Marngrook. The Barwon River is a place that our eels would travel down. The eels then meet on our coast, our saltwater country."

"Then we have our mountain country, our big hills and Bunjil. Bunjil watches over this country he created, he will often fly over the stadium, watching over country and the river."

The Cats will wear the guernsey in the upcoming Doug Nicholls Round, whilst the AFLW were able to wear the guernsey earlier in the year, marking the side's first Indigenous jersey in the AFLW.
